MnLHEIM's RENOVATED Town
HALL.-The school board who has the
control of the town hall in this place
have taken hold of a work that will
give us public hall of which we need
not be ashamed. Thus far the hall was
unfit for any public gatherings. The
ceiling which was too low is being torn
out and raised about five feet, while
heavy iron rods will be extended from
wall TO wall to prevent their bulging,
thus making the building safer and
more substantial. A new stage will be
erected at the northern end OF the hall
with uprights to admit of the fastening
of curtains and sceneries. The seats
will be repaired and so arranged that
there will be three aisles. Chimneys
will be built and the old stoves and ug-
ly stove pipes will be done away with.
The hall viii be repapered and repaint-
ed and everything Will he put in a pre-
sentable and neat shape. The board is
pushing the work as rapidly as possible
and expect to have the hall ready for
business by next week.
We think the change of the hall's
condition is of sufficient Importance to
our town people to celebrate the CON-
pletion of the work by rededication
which might be in the form of "a public
entertainment consisting Of suitable AL.
dresses music. sc. q. The suggestion
is submitted for the consideration oi
the controlling board.

MORE FISH TALK.
The Merchants Club of Boston Enter
tain Prominent Gentlemen Who Are
Interested IN Our Fisheries.
BOsrON. March l(

BosroN, March 10.
The Merchants Club this evening enter
tanned as special guests Congressman Dingley
and Boutelle of Maine, Representatives Rice
and Long of Massachusetts, Hon. Charles
Levi Woodbury. and Capt. Fitz j. Babson Of
Gloucester. Gov. Ames was in attendance
and about 65 gentlemen gathered around the
tables.
President Richard Briggs presided and in
troduced exGov. Dingley of Maine, who
made the principal speech of the evening, the
topic for discussion being the importance of
the fishery question and retaliation bill lately
passed by congress. Mr.. Dingey dwelt on
the attempt of Canadian authorities and those
interested in Canadian fisheries to avoid the
point at issue, which is the right to the com
mercial privileges granted by legislation. He
claimed the recent legislation was simply re-
sponsive and not retaliatory. If the Presi-
dent executes is in the spirit in which its
trainers intended, he will not take a step in
of that taken by Canada, so it will
be for Canada to take the responsibility for
every stage of discrimination or non-inter-
course.
Gov. Dingley was followed by Messrs.
W oodbury, Boutelle, Rice, Long and Babson.
The latter made an interesting speech, DWELL
ing upon the Importance of our fisheries and
justiiying the course taken by congress.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
A Barrel Filled With straw Found to
Contain Portions OF a WOman's Body.
BosToN, March 10.

BosroN, March 10.
A barrel was received by Adams Express
TODAY from New York via N. Y. &. N. E. K.
r. for delivery to American Express Co., to
be forwarded to parties in New Brunswick.
There were heavy charges on it, and the
American Express Co. refused to receive the
barrel on account of certain suspicious marks
resembling blood stains upon its side, where
upon the Adams Co. took it back to their
main office.
Here the barrel was opened, when the head
of a woman was discovered packed in straw,
and enough was seen to convince the officials
that the barrel contained other portions of a
human body. The head was carefully re-
placed, and the barrel, with its contents, was
removed to Undertaken TiDkham's place on
Howard street, where Medical Examiner Har-
ris will probably make an examination in the
morning. Those who are cognizant Of the
facts believe the body was intended for some
medical college and while the stfair is sur
rounded by mystery, they don't believe the
bodv is that of victim of murder. The af-
fair has been kept very quiet and it was only
by the dropping of word by an incautious
employer that led to the revelation Of the
above facts.

HE PAYS THE PENALTY.
samuel r. Beese Hanged at Plymouth
The Execution strictly Private-No
Reporters Allowed.
PLYMOUTH, Mass March !

PLYMOUTH, Mass, March TO-
Samuel F. Besse was hanged at Plymouth
at 80 this morning. The body was cut
down at 9.03. The crime of which Besss
paid the penalty was the murder of Richard
\. Lawton OF Westport, on the morning of
December %, 1885, his purpose being rob-
oery. Ihe execution was strictly private
only twelve witnesses were present as re-
CURED BY law. The course followed by
Sheriff Harmon has been approved by the
best citizens. He has received many letter.
encouraging him in the stand he has taken
against making such an occasion public and
his method will probably be followed by the
snerlns of other counties in ali future hang
ings, the matter having been thoroughly dis
cussed at the recent annual dinner of the
sherlffs at Boston. Sheriff Harmon was
oesleged with requests for admission but re-
fused all. Newspaper correspondents Jared
the same as the rest and have obtained moth
ing whatever from the officers whe had
charge of the affair. Besse's last night was
passed mostly in sleep.
After the execution the body was at once
placed in coffin and soon after was quietly
taken to Wareham to Besses father who
claimed the remains. There was no crowd
ana no demonstration of any kind around the
Jail.
The sheriff from the very first determined
not to admit to the execution only the num-
Der of persons required by law. In this he
has met some strong opposition but he has
won strong praise from clergymen, the
churches and the respectable portion of the
community.

Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful word we live in !
Nature gives US grandure of mountains, glens
and oceans, and thousands of means of
enjoyment. We can desire no better when
in perfect health; but how often do the ma
jority of people feel like giving it up dis
heartened, discouraged and worn out with
disease, when there is no ocsasion for this
feeling, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof that Green's August Flower
will make them free from disease as when
born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint are
the direct cause of seventy-five per cent. of
such maladies as BiIiousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness. Nervous Pros
tration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of
the Heart, and other distressing symptoms.
Three doses of August Flower will prove its
wonderful effect. Sample bottles, 10 cents.
Try it.
